Title: Tissue reel transfer device and method
Inventor: JAMISON CHRIS MARK
IPC: B65H19/29
Filed: 2002-10-30
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (10) and method for transferring tissue reels. The system preferably incorporates nozzles that spray an adhesive (40) directly onto moving tissue paper substrate (18), as opposed to applying adhesive (40) directly to the reel, independent of machine speeds and basis weights of the substrate. Alternatively, the system of the present invention may also apply adhesive directly to the new reel (14) as opposed to the tissue paper substrate (18). In the preferred embodiment, the new core or reel is brought up to substantially equivalent speed as the moving tissue paper substrate and placed into contact with the moving web of tissue. When the new reel is in place, the valves are activated thereby spraying adhesive (40) across the width of moving tissue. The newly coated substrate sticks substantially immediately to the new core and cleanly tears away from the completed roll.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for decelerating and temporarily accumulating a hot rolled product moving longitudinally along a receiving axis (A) at a first velocity V 1. The product is directed through a curved guide having an entry end aligned with the receiving axis to receive the product, and an exit end spaced radially from the receiving axis and oriented to deliver the product in an exit direction transverse to the receiving axis. The curved guide is rotated about the receiving axis in a direction opposite to the exit direction of the product and at a speed at which the guide exit end has a velocity V2, thereby decelerating the product being delivered from the guide exit end to a reduced velocity V3 equal to V1-V2. The product is formed into a helix and temporarily accumulated on a cylindrical drum which is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the curved guide to thereby unwind the product from the drum.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to dynamically generate and distribute a synchronized media presentation. The present invention provides for the automated retrieval, assembly and formatting of an enhanced media presentation and the synchronous delivery of that presentation. The enhancing content is synchronized so that its delivery coincides with a broadcast signal or other media program that it is designed to enhance without requiring that the enhancing content be physically bound to the media program. Another aspect of the invention is that the assembly and synchronization of the enhancing content is independent of the distribution channel and platform used to execute or display the enhanced content. As a result, the enhancing content can be formatted for a set-top box, a personal computer, a personal video recorder, an audio system or any other platform used to deliver a media program to a user.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un mécanisme d'articulation utile, par exemple, pour manipuler à distance divers instruments chirurgicaux et outils diagnostiques dans ou sur des régions du corps. Le mouvement de segments situés à l'extrémité proximale du mécanisme génère un mouvement relatif correspondant de segments situés à l'extrémité distale du mécanisme. Les segments proximal et distal sont reliés par un ensemble de câbles de façon que chaque segment proximal forme une paire discrète avec un segment distal. Cette configuration permet à chaque paire de segments de se déplacer indépendamment l'une de l'autre, et permet également au mécanisme d'articulation de décrire des mouvements complexes et d'adopter des configurations complexes.
